Seems like the turnovers may be something we need to expect every game now. We're not good enough to give the other team the ball 20 times without getting a shot up.

He has no choice until he improves his jumper.

C'mon, man. You're better than that. Not like Rivers was crazy injury prone at Duke.

Didn't look too bad. It hurt like a mother f though, especially since it was the same ankle. If something popped, he wouldn't have been able to walk off. Monty even gave him a slap on the fact at the end lol, then Rivers walked off on his own power. I'd sit him for the first game or two and let that thing really heal up.

Well, on offense at least.

Pretty much. I hope he develops into at least a Wade-level jumpshooter. That's not asking for too much, is it?

If this was our sim league, I would definitely use a fast pace with this team.

Rather he doesn't have a gimped up back.

A hurt back destroys any aspirations to athleticism a person might have.

Not at all. Shooting is the easiest skill to improve besides effort. Supposedly he's a hard worker. If true, he should improve his jumper.

Did Vasquez just split defenders?

not really, but wade only really makes difficult jumpers. I actually cant recall a ton of wide open midrangers or 3's hes ever made lol.

Vasquez does well in half-court. But full court offense ain't his strong suit.

I honestly thought Mike Miller's leg was going to fall off after last year's playoff run. Yet here he is.

Roberts should get a roster spot just for making plays like that

Wow on that Davis alley-oop +1.

Until that elbow comes in, that jumper will continue to be inconsistent. I think that could be the thing that worries me about him.

Since we took him never got a great hype about him. Hell, like Miller more than him as a pick.
